Problem in Pokemon Link: Battle

I've been playing through Pokemon Link: Battle Zone 4 Sky-High Ruins and I've encountered a problem. I can't unlock stage 5 of Zone 4. I've already unlocked every other stage and I've captured every Pokemon except for Jirachi in Stage 6 but for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't unlock stage 5. Can anybody help me on this?

Merging your thread with the questions thread sticky.

I've been wondering this ever since I was a kid, are there multiple species of Legendary Pokemon? Like, not just roamers like the Legendary Birds, but Pokemon like Mewtwo. If (and if this origin story doesn't apply to the games then forgive me, please) it was created in a lab, and designed to be the strongest Pokemon, then how are there multiple other species of it? This is probably explained in some form of Poke-media, but I don't follow much closely except the games.

Also, multiple Arceus's what.

Because when trading/generation crossing is taken into effect, in-game canon gets thrown out the window.

Basically a simple way to think about it is that you could treat each individual game as its own universe, with different versions, or other games in general being alternate universes. Within any one game, there is only one of each Legendary Pokemon. If the games couldn't interact with each other, it would stay that way. But since the games can interact, then it allows for multiple Legendary Pokemon of the same species to exist.

The best answer anyone can give you is that Game Freak is smart enough not to let their own tissue-thin story concepts (like the non-debate of whether there's more than one of each Legendary) get in the way of what makes for the best gameplay. If anything, the games outright contradict that in the name of better gameplay more often than not, like allowing you to birth a newborn Dialga/Palkia/Giratina despite "grown" versions of all three having previously appeared in Sinnoh.

Really best just not to worry about it, because the answer will change for any given Legendary depending solely upon what will serve the gameplay better, as it should.

Is there any kind of random matchup support for 6v6 singles in XY? Or does random matchup only ever do 3v3 singles? I've finally gotten my Showdown team built in-game, but 3v3s are just so unstrategic and boring compared to 6v6, I'm not finding a lot of use for it. I know I can do 6v6s if I find my own opponent and don't go through Battle Spot, but at that point I might as well just be playing Showdown...

Any tips on how to beat Latias and Latios in Pokemon Global Link anyone? I'm stuck. U_U

Depends on what it's running. Special walls like pink blobs and Sylveon work if it doesn't have Trick, while Scizor and Aegislash work if it doesn't have HP Fire. Heatran works if it doesn't have Surf, while Azumarill and Togekiss work if it doesn't have Thunderbolt.

Faster Pokemon or those with priority can consistently revenge kill them, while Tyranitar is probably the most consistent #1 counter to both.

In which case that's actually a slow time since some people have done it in like 2 hours.

Damn. I thought I was fast with my 6-8 hours gameplay not realife hours play >_>

Let me rephrase, how do I capture Latias and Latios in Pokemon Trozei. I don't know what support Pokemon to use because Absol just screws me over at the start of the level since it doesn't give u any Pokemon that are super so it's either bring something super effective against Absol and lose to latias and latios or use Rayquaza as my support to kill Latias and Latios at the end but by that time I'm already damaged too much so I just lose and there's no chancey's in the link box either. Global link is the European name for Pokemon Trozei.
